Abstract
Generally, the principles underlying the treatment of patients with open fractures involving the limbs are similar to those discussed in Chaps. 2, 3, and 7. Therefore, in this chapter we consider only the most important, fundamental aspects of external fixation in the management of open limb fractures.
